Finally the day has come when PSP 3000 Owners can Join those of us and play homebrew, Davee (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/gtsearch.php?cx=012160352719411869831%3Agxjy90lb_y e&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=Davee#1071) has released his ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler, heres the full details:


5.03 ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler - Team Typhoon (Article by Granite) So comes the release of the highly anticipated ChickHEN homebrew enabler by Team Typhoon. After 1800 Lines of code, 4 weeks of stressful developing and countless amounts of tests the dawn of a new homebrew era for all the 3000, 2000 and 1000 users is on the horizon. What was said to be impossible by many is now a reality, all styles homebrew are now running on the "unhackable" T88v3 and TA-090 motherboards rolled out by Sony.

What does the ChickHEN do?
ChickHEN as a Homebrew Enabler that allows the execution of homebrew via the PSP XMB. Running via a vulnerability in the lib TIFF the launcher takes advantage of the system by performing a kernel exploit and rebooting into a homebrew enabled enviroment. The ChickHEN remains active until the PSP is fully reset in which case official firmware loads from the flash. ChickHEN unlike other HEN's doesn't touch the flash0 and resides completely in memory. The h.bin supplied in this download consists of a loader and systemex, which is a inversed order of systemctrl and rebootex

What ChickHEN does NOT do?
-Run ISO, CSO or any other form of UMD backup.
-Run PSX Games
-Touch The Flash of your beloved PSP
-Magically allow the use of Custom Firmware
-Load plugins

How do i get the HEN to run on my PSP?

1. First off use the supplied TIFF image and place it in the PSP>PHOTO Directory.
2. Copy h.bin over to the MS ROOT and safely remove device.
2. Scroll over to the PHOTO icon on the XMB and click the ChickHEN folder and wait. (This will not work the first time, you may have to just use a method of loading that works for you but this is what we have found most efficient)
3. If all goes well the screen should blank out and flash green showing that the HEN is loaded and all is well.
4. Wait for your PSP to reboot and check your PSP's system software. It should now display: "5.03 ChickHEN".
5. Scroll on over to GAME and enjoy some Homebrew!

All this for the PSP3000?
Its great work but unlike what the posts states its not really relevant to other PSP owners.

Honestly the PSP3000 is the poorest iteration of the PSP yet.
I feel sorry for anyone unfortunate to own one.
Your better off buying a PSP2000 (SLIM) or PSP1000 (Phat)

I tried the exploit on my psp slim model TA-088v2 with original 5.01 firmware and it didn't work. I tried both the exploits for model phat and slim, just in case. It freezes and then turns off.
Then, I updated to firmware 5.03, which is supposedly the right and got the same results.

So, I'm waiting anxiously for the update .
Anyway, great work.

So, any chance of this eventually allowing access to the kernal, and of course, custom firmware?

My guess is that it's gonna be somebody other than this guy on account that he (most likely) made this to specifically avoid piracy, but I want my PSX games daggumit

this is intended for people who bought a 3000 not knowing there was no homebrew or as a gift, but besides that the 3000 is not the worst in fact it is pretty nice system with the improved screen and the video out and all that, i own a 1000 and honestly the only reason i bought it was for homebrew if the 3000 had homebrew at the time it would of been my first choice xD

I completely understand how and why someone might pick up one of these.
The PSP3000 interlaced screen problem (http://www.google.com/search?q=psp+3000+screen+problem) is exactly the reason why I wouldnt want one.
The PSP2000 is the unit to own at the moment.
I prefer the PSP1000 for my own reasons.

tbh i don't think the interlacing problem is any worse than the ghosting on my psp1000!

I have the 3000 model and I moved all the given files to the correct folders, and nothing happens...Is it because there's only a phat and slim tiff?

I have tried this on a PSP-2000 TA-088v3 but it just shuts down after loading. Anyone who can help?

It is known the code is very unstable and takes few tries before it loads.

It is suggested by some to turn of Caching, UMD auto load, reset to factory setting and add an extra random picture to where the tiff image are.

I know it definately works. With chickenHEn running there is a custom firmware out! Hint! Hint!

Downside you have to repeat the process if you ever switch of the PSP or battery runs out before charging.

for some reason it wouldn't load for me without a UMD in the tray. pspiso.com has a comprehensive ChickHEN R2 guide.
